Also known as vitamin B3 and nicotinamide, Niacinamide is a water-soluble vitamin that works with the natural substances in your skin to help visibly improve enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles, dullness, and a weakened surface.
Vital Vitamins
Vitamin B3 is an essential nutrient that the body produces for the skin. It can be found in vitamin-rich foods - which can take care of the body from the inside - and in a world of skincare products that, when applied to the skin, pamper it from the outside.
Niacinamide is a wonderfully versatile and multitasking water-soluble vitamin with amazing skin benefits. These include improving skin texture, boosting hydration and protecting the skin from environmental damage.
Hydration Stations
Niacinamide helps renew and restore the surface of the skin against moisture loss and dehydration by helping it improve its natural production of strengthening ceramides. Strengthening the skin's barrier improves its ability to maintain hydration; the skin holds onto moisture helping it to stay hydrated longer and also reduces the impact of environmental damage.
The Great All-Rounder
If long-lasting hydration wasn’t enough, this great ingredient boasts a stellar line up of talents:
- Improves skin's texture and signs of ageing reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and helps minimising the appearance of the size of the pores, and to regulate sebum production.
- Its antioxidant properties work to reduce hyper-pigmentation and lightening dark spots, target blemishes and congestion.
- Protects against sun damage rebuilding healthy skin cells also protecting them from damage caused by UV rays
- Its anti-inflammatory properties minimise redness, blotchiness and acne.
- Improves uneven skin tone, diminish dullness and strengthen a weakened surface giving to the skin a radiant complexion
When applied every day, Niacinamide has so many ways to have a positive impact on your overall skin health.
